All web browsers on iOS use Apple WebKit, not just Safari. This is because use of WebKit, not Blink or Gecko, is a requirement of the App Store Review Guidelines. Both Firefox for iOS and Chrome for iOS use WebKit, for example.
Particularly when narrowing a search by height might violate Americans with Disabilities Act and foreign counterparts. Does the height of a wheelchair's seat count toward the height of a wheelchair-using Tinder user? Would the system correctly recognize the height of someone like photographer Kevin Michael Connolly or aerialist Jen Bricker?
U.S. citizens living outside the U.S. would retain access. But that's because of an unusual tax situation: the United States is one of the few countries that taxes expats' income earned anywhere in the world.
Switch to APNG to support Safari, and you give up compatibility with IE and Edge. GIF is the only unpatented or patent-expired bitmap animation format that plays in all supported major browsers.
when used for animations it provides no inter-frame compression at all. Each frame is run-length encoded separately.
GIF animations can "stack" a transparent frame on the previous frames. GIMP and numerous other GIF tools have a frame differencing feature that turns runs of pixels that match the previous frame into blocks of highly compressible transparency. This adds compression unless some pixels are changing from opaque to transparent or unless the scene has global motion.
split the image in 256 color chunks and change palette for each animation frame showing each chunk
The sample animation you linked shows only one 256-color chunk animating at once. I'm interested to see a tech demo of multiple palette chunks animating in parallel. If you don't animate, you might as well use PNG.
Let's say you're starting from something other than MP4, such as a video game capture or a set of video clips in a video editor. It costs money to purchase a licensed AVC encoder or a patent license for use of FFmpeg. Unlike VP8, GIF plays in WebKit for iOS.
Video codecs that play in web browsers for iOS are patented. This means a user living in Slashdot's home country or another country with software patents has to purchase a licensed AVC encoder. GIF, by contrast, is no longer patented.
How do you provide a mask for a video that plays in a web browser so that some parts of each frame are transparent?
A "vacuum cleaner" doesn't clean a vacuum; it cleans other things using a vacuum. it works by creating a partial vacuum that causes the atmosphere to push air across the brush head into the chamber, carrying dirt along with the air.
Can we not start a pressure group to push federal lawmakers into passing a law dictating that all publicly funded research automatically be made available freely with no paywalls whatsoever?
Would it be acceptable to region-lock tax-funded publications, offering them without charge to domestic viewers but putting foreign viewers behind a paywall? Consider that, for example, a French citizen living in France likely did not contribute to research funded by U.S. tax dollars. Compare what BBC has done with iPlayer and the like.
If you have to take time off from a job that pays hourly, then you can make a case for losing money to use the time.
I work two jobs, one of them from home. Taking the bus to the shopping center to return something takes roughly two and a half hours away from time I could spend on billable projects: a 45 minute ride there transferring downtown, a 10 minute return, a 50 minute wait for the next bus (which runs hourly in my city), and a 45 minute ride home transferring downtown.
You can buy something and walk out without a receipt. I do it all the time with small purchases.
When one of your "small purchases" turns out defective, what steps do you typically need to take to prove to the retail clerk that you bought the product at that store within the return window (such as 14 or 30 days)?

What is very sketchy to me is the 30hr [per week] minimum.
Might that have something to do with a threshold in the US Affordable Care Act or some other labor law?
For exactly the same reason that some white people smell like stool: a medical issue affecting the bowel.
Wikipedia's summary of Mr. Musk's ventures doesn't appear to list anything related to health care.

Getting anywhere on a hub-and-spoke bus system in a small (200K) city takes that long.

It is superseded in every way by .png.
Except for animations in Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge.

PNG is pronounced like the word "ping" per the spec. I'd give IPA symbols, but they happen not to be on Slashdot's code point whitelist.

Please don't misquote the Talmud.
Or maybe we happen for other reasons to live next to neighbors who outvoted us differently.
now I carry a reusable bag, which is a lot more robust than a plastic carrier and still going strong after hundreds of uses.
And how many washes? Reusable bags tend to pick up coliform bacteria rawther quickly.

That is paying for the research, not publication.
If the research is funded by tax money, the publication also ought to be funded by tax money for consistency.

Your logic seems to be based on me getting paid all the time, or that me doing anything but work is taking time away from work.
Someone who works from home might have to take time off work to make a trip into town.
